Hello, everybody. I had the opportunity to sit down in person today with Warren Smith.

Warren was a teacher, and he recorded himself having a discussion with a student about a rather

contentious topic. It turned out to be J.K. Ruling's reactions to the trans-propaganda insanity

that plagues our culture in 15 different ways.

Do you still like her work despite her bigoted opinions?

So let's get specific, though.

Let's define bigoted opinions.

What opinions are bigoted?

She has had a history of being extremely transphobic, I've heard.

And you've heard, so can you give me an example?

In 2019, she said,

live your best life in peace and security,

but force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real.

So you find that bigoted?

What do you find about?

It was... The video, which was remarkable, I would say, for the good sense that Warren brought to it,

the calm demeanor, the intelligent questioning of the student, really the professional

way that he handled the discussion, which is now so rare among those

who purport to be teachers that the mere fact of its professionalism was remarkable in and of itself,

enough so that it went viral. Do you find that transphobic yourself?

I don't really have an opinion on it, but I'm just going with what a lot of other people have said.

So let's pause it. Let's not go with what other people are saying. Let's try and learn how to critically think. So let's analyze the tweet ourselves. So that statement, do you see anything problematic?
